For those following the ‘is a TDV8 any good?’ thread, I’ve now taken possession of my first Range Rover.
On an 09 plate, with 55,170 on the clock, FSH & 1 previous owner plus a brand new MOT, I’m very happy with it.
There are a couple of very minor scuffs that I’ll be getting sorted - the door handles are the worst and there is 1 really, really minor scratch:
The interior is spotless apart from the drivers floor mat:
Tyres are all good;
I’ve ordered the luggage pocket nets for the boot and will be adding a dog guard & boot liner. I did do a deal on a gun I sold and ended up with a TransK9 double dog crate for an L322 for the last £100 of the gun…
I don’t want it in the vehicle all the time as I need the boot to be covered for when I’m moving firearms.
Tinting the rear doors & boot windows is the major thing I need to do.
Having driven it and taken it to Tesco, it’s all there… the power at the bottom is unbelievable and you have to check to see what speed you’re actually doing… it gets to 50+ very quietly & quickly!
There is more road noise than I’d expected but that may be the tyres or the fact I’m use to a sporty Mercedes!
Little, minor draw to the left under braking - balancing maybe?
It is like driving a Chesterfield…
